Of course, with Christ, all things are possible.

Yes, and with the Holy Spirit, too. Whatever Cardinal Bergoglio may have said or thought, he is now Pope Francis. God has given him graces of the office of Pope. I believe that he is open to those graces. As St. Pio said, "Pray, be happy, don't worry." Francis needs our prayers.

As poor as the music became in the Catholic Church in America, it is improving. It may take a while to reach every parish, but there is a growing momentum to return to truly sacred music. Check out the Church Music Association of America.

"Check out the Church Music Association of America."

Thanks for the link. Our church still has the OCP stuff, though they did pitch the two OCP supplemental songbooks, so all that remains is the stuff in the "Breaking Bread" missalette.

Our new priest is a former Army and Air Force chaplain, and he is "kicking ass and taking names" a bit compared to the previous priest, who was a nice enough guy, but a bit of a wuss. A lot of the "touchy-feely" stuff has been reigned in. It will be interesting to see how things have been re-worked for Easter and the reception of the next crew of candidates and catechumens.
